THERE IS A POINT. A still, small point deep inside. Where you are tied to the universe and all its powers. To the rock, the river, the flower, the tree, the star. Remember that point. Return to it and focus on it as often as you need to. Every day. At any time of day. It is not a belief. It is not a matter of hope or of faith. It is a reality. A fact. And in your awareness, your experience of that fact, you have a firm place to stand. You have dignity, and strength, and the sustenance to carry on. Not by raging against all the stupidities and indignities that swirl around you like so many dark winds. But by standing up, firm and unyielding, for the integrity of life. For all that is honest and real and good, and connected to that still, small point inside. This is how we resist. This is how we endure. This is how we make our own small difference in the world.
